Why choose Natural Stone Tiles for your floor or wall?

There are numerous benefits for using natural stone tiles for you wall or flooring, and stone can be an extremely rewarding material to invest in in installing in your home. Natural stone has of course been used in construction and interior decoration for thousands of years, and is no doubt to found in some of the most exquisite and luxurious buildings and residencies around the world. The reasons for its popularity of course go far beyond the sheer aesthetic qualities natural stone offers, since it is also naturally extremely waterproof, hygienic, and unreactive with cleaning agents and bacteria.

Probably the single most significant benefit of using natural stone tiles, is the sheer longevity of their life and their duration of use. Using them in your home will, with care, mean that they last longer than your home probably will! Natural stone is of course available in many different forms such as travertine, granite, limestone, slate, sandstone and quartzite, and they all differ in the  way in which they will age with time and use. It is commonly thought that natural stone tiles improve with age and use because they develop unique characters and qualities. This is of course true even within the different types of stone available; since stone is a natural product, no two tiles will be identically alike, which will go a long way to making your tiled floor or wall very special indeed.

One important consideration to take into account when choosing tiles is of course their suitability for the application you need them in. Some tiles will be better suited for indoor use, and may not be suitable for use in a wetroom or swimming pool application for example. This does however highlight their extreme versatility and the wide range of applications natural stone tiles can be used for, from bathrooms to living rooms, conservatories, swimming pools, wetrooms and kitchens.

Another very significant benefit of using natural stone tiles for your floor or wall, is that they lend themselves by nature to providing more flexibility in terms of patterns and design. Since tiles come in a wide range of sizes and colours, from small polished mosaic tiles, to large rustic black modular tiles, using them for your spaces gives you many options to create interesting and personalised finishes and features. You could for example use different coloured contrasting tiles to create striking effects on a floor, or create a feature wall by arranging your tiles in a pattern to suggest movement or a particular shape. Whichever way you decide to use your natural stone tiles, you can be confident in finding them a flexible and versatile solution.

Before purchasing natural stone tiles, bear in mind that there are a few important differences to using stone as opposed to other materials for your wall or flooring solution. First of all, due to the high quality and fact that it is a natural material, natural stone can be more expensive than other solutions. They also can be more difficult to fit, and maintain, which can also increase the cost. One factor with fitting natural stone tiles is that they can be more difficult to cut when tiling around fixtures and fittings. The best way to cut stone tiles is to use an electric wet tile cutter, and preferably to do this outside, or in a prepared environment due to the potential to get water and debris spray.

When fitting natural stone tiles, it is also important to seal the tiles after fitting, as this may otherwise result in the stone becoming stained. This seal needs to be applied after tiles have been laid and grouted, and after any residual dust, adhesive or grout need to be removed with a residual remover. After applying and removing the residual remover, a seal can then be added to help prevent materials and liquids from entering the pores of the stone and leaving potential marks. This seal needs to be regularly maintained in order to keep the tiles in good condition, and can even be added to through the use of enhancing products to bring out the natural grain and contrasts of the stone.

NATURAL BORN KILLERS:DIRECTOR'S CUT - Blu-Ray Movi

Oliver Stone would like to have the last word on America's media culture of voyeurism and violence, but whatever he's trying to say in this grisly, unconventional movie comes across terribly garbled. Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis play traveling serial killers who become television celebrities when a Geraldo-like personality (Robert Downey Jr.) turns their madness into the biggest story in the country. Stone extensively rewrote an original script by Quentin Tarantino, and he employs a mosaic of different film stocks, video, and pop pastiches to create a sense of blurred lines between visual phenomena. (The background on Lewis's character's life as an abused child, for instance, is presented as a sitcom starring Rodney Dangerfield.) But the result of these experiments is a pompous, even amateurish effort at grasping the reins of a real-life national debate. One almost wants to tell Stone to sit down and raise his hand next time if he thinks he has something to say. The controversial director would like Natural Born Killers to be nothing less than a monumental achievement, but it's one of the emptier entries in his filmography. --Tom Keogh
